After five years at Tottenham Hotspur, Mauricio Pochettino has been relieved of his duties.

It is a decision that has sent shockwaves around the footballing world, but not as much as the appointment of the man who will follow the Argentinian.

After just under a year in the managerial wilderness, Jose Mourinho is back in the dugout, having signed a four-year deal with the Lilywhites. After spells with Manchester United and Chelsea in the Premier League, there are likely to be some tasty fixtures this term.

The arrival of the Portuguese boss will cost Spurs a pretty penny, too. According to The Daily Mail, he will earn £15m a year, which is double what his predecessor was paid. Not only that, he will be the second best-paid boss in the world according to Tuttosport, via The Daily Mail. Pep Guardiola leads the way, raking in £20m.

In the top 10, there are some big names, but it is rather surprising to see Jurgen Klopp only in tenth on the list. The former Borussia Dortmund man brings in £7m a season and, although that is a wage most on the planet can only dream of, it is still some way off those at the very top.

Looking at the list of those who are above him in terms of pay-checks, it makes for interesting reading. There are two bosses coaching in the Chinese Super League - Fabio Cannavaro and Rafael Benitez - whilst Thomas Tuchel was unable to progress further than the quarter-finals of the Champions League last term despite cleaning up in France. Ernesto Valverde, another who is ahead of him, is regularly lambasted by portions of Barcelona's fans, who are fed up with him at their club.

Given the influence that Klopp has had on things at Liverpool, Mourinho's arrival in north London shines a light on just how much of a bargain Liverpool have with the German.

He has proven himself to be one of the best managers in the world and, on current form, perhaps the best of them all - his team are the current European champions and have been in back-to-back finals in the Champions League. They've lost just one Premier League game in their last 51 too.

If that isn't value for money, then what is? This is another bit of news that will fill the Reds supporters with glee.
